Old Rugged Cross

On a hill far away stood and old rugged cross

The emblem of suffering and shame

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross

And exchange it some day for a crown

To the old rugged cross, I will never be true

Its shame and reproach gladly bear

Then He'll call me some day to my home far away

Where his glory forever I'll share
